General Description:
The Sedge Island Natural Resource Education Center runs hands-on environmental education programs for classroom teachers, teachers and students, non-formal educators and a variety of other education groups. Groups learn about the natural and cultural history of Barnegat Bay and explore the marine environment through kayaking, seining, shellfish restoration and other hands-on activities.

Groups usually stay for two nights in the historic Sedge House, a renovated duck-hunting lodge. The building has a living room, full kitchen, dining room and seven bunkrooms.

There is also a staff room, where the interns and program directors reside while on the island. The facility is truly "off the grid" with solar power providing electricity. Two Clivus Multrum composting toilets handle human waste.
